I'm interested in popular culture: the set of practices, beliefs, and objects that embody the most broadly shared meanings of a social system, including media objects, entertainment and leisure, fashion and trends, and linguistic conventions, among other things. I'm not so much interested in fashion - anyone who's ever met me in person will verify that - but I'm curious about how we got to where we are, in terms of literature, linguistics, language, and trends in entertainment and social culture, and I'm curious about how faith fits into the picture as well.
